Conference BINGO

I always look forward to General Conference but sometimes it's hard for my little ones to sit still and listen. A friend of mine sent me this great idea for helping children enjoy conference a little more. This BINGO game worked really well with my boys! They actually listened to almost an entire session (2 hours)! We ended up making up our own rules that said if ANYONE got BINGO then we could all eat all the treats on our board. I used jellybeans, bunny shaped marshmellows, walnuts, chocolate chips and raisins as markers. Thanks, Amy!

  2. Tara, I'm so glad Conference Bingo worked so well for you! My older kids are now tired of it, I guess, because it didn't keep their attention very long this time. (Curtis, however, LOVES it. He will sit through the whole 2 hours better than Garrett and Hayley!) Hmmmm... gotta search the Internet again to steal some new ideas for next time!!
